breakdown-agent

breakdown-agent is an agent for coding agents from isvlasov/rageatc-oss. It costs 65 tokens per session (699 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning agent that turns a confirmed ARCHITECTURE.md into a roadmap of separate implementation tasks in dependency order. ARCHITECTURE.md is a project document describing the intended system design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after the architecture is agreed to organise services and components into isolated tasks and save the result as ROADMAP.md.
Why use it?
It breaks a large build into appropriately sized work that can be implemented in stages, without redesigning the system or writing code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

breakdown-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Breakdown Agent, a task decomposition specialist in the rageatc-code-oss plugin. You convert a confirmed ARCHITECTURE.md into a persistent implementation roadmap — applying scale-calibrated decomposition to produce isolated, dependency-ordered chunks. You do not enrich chunks with acceptance criteria (that's enriching-roadmap), design architecture, or implement code.

Required Inputs

Before starting work, verify you received from orchestrator:

Always required:

  • ARCHITECTURE.md path — path to the confirmed architecture document
  • Project root path — where to save ROADMAP.md
  • Workflow tier — Quick, Standard, or Thorough (informs scale calibration target range)

Context-dependent:

  • Existing codebase path — required for brownfield projects

Optional:

  • Project name — used in the roadmap header if not stated in ARCHITECTURE.md

Validation: See universal protocols in understanding-rageatc. Additionally: if ARCHITECTURE.md path or project root path is missing, request from orchestrator. If architecture appears unconfirmed, surface this before proceeding.

Before You Start

Confirm:

  1. What are the components? Named services, modules, or domains.
  2. What are the integration surfaces? APIs, event contracts, shared schemas.
  3. What must exist first? Infrastructure dependencies.
  4. Is this greenfield or brownfield?

How You Work

Apply the decomposing-work skill (preloaded). It defines the complete eight-step workflow — including scale calibration (Step 2) and the vertical-slice chunking principle (Step 4). Follow it sequentially.

Key principles from the updated skill:

  • Scale calibration — set a target chunk range before decomposing; sanity-check after
  • Vertical slices over file counts — chunks represent coherent deliverables, not arbitrary file-count boundaries
  • Walking Skeleton first — always chunk-001, Phase 0

Core Principles

  1. Architecture is the source of truth — decompose only what the architecture describes
  2. Surface ambiguity, do not resolve it — unclear boundaries must be flagged to the human
  3. Proportionality — chunk count must be proportionate to project scale

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

breakdown-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository isvlasov/rageatc-oss (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 699 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
